Background In agriculture and forestry soil fertility is a decisive factor for the economic use of fields and forests. Various factors, considered as a whole are the indicators which characterize the soil fertility. Important parameters are e.g.: Intensity of precipitation, air temperature, air humidity, soil humidity, suction power and soil temperature in various depths. ...

SCIENTISTS at an environmental biotechnology company have developed a biological product that could potentially be used to directly reduce the amount of nitrogen and other fertilisers used by arable farmers. Amnite® A100, created by Stockton-on-Tees-based CBio (Cleveland Biotech), relies on an improved ...

Organic fertilizer is processed by fermenting the animal and plant residues, it not only contains major elements that plant required such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, also contains microelements such as molybdenum, zinc, iron, copper and other trace elements which is ...

The Atrazine RaPID Assay, kit has been successfully applied to the determination of atrazine in fertilizer samples using the ollowing guidelines: 1. Weigh fertilizer into diluent. a) For each gram of fertilizer, use 10 mL of diluent. It is recommended that at least 1 g or up to 50 g of fertilizer be used to obtain a representative sample. b) As diluent use either a 50%(v/v) methanol: 50%(v/v) ...

Organic Fertilizer Benefits – Why not use synthetic fertilizers? It’s a reasonable question. After all, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ARE chemicals, so where is the advantage in these bags of heavy, grainy stuff, that need to be measured and mixed and then dug in, when you can just pick up a small plastic bottle of the blue stuff? There are several organic fertilizer ...

Recently, encapsulation of active ingredients in powder has gained much attraction. This technology could enable novel formulations for products in many fields, such as pharma, biology, food and cosmetics. The main purpose of encapsulation is to protect the sensitive compound in a solid matrix against the damage of the surrounding environment during the shelf life. Encapsulation has also been ...

Soil water budgets are essential in determining the proper timing and amount of irrigation. Organic fertilizers can be substituted for commercial fertilizers; however, information is sparse on the interaction of irrigation management and nutrient source on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) production. This study evaluated nutrient source and irrigation management on growth and yield of cucumber grown ...

Illustrated explanation of two broad stages that are usually applied in most composting facility. First, composting process that convert raw compost into mature compost. Second, organic fertilizers production that convert mature compost into granulated fertilizers. Feedstock for composting stage can be farm and animal husbandry wastes, biomass from plants, and biodegradables that have been sorted ...

For two years, the U.S. Composting Council’s (USCC) marketing committee has been meeting with the American Association of Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) to discuss how the two organizations could work together to create a uniform compost bill to be given to each state legislature to consider adopting into law. AAPFCO is an organization of fertilizer control officials from each state in the ...

Researchers in the UK think they may have found a way to produce fertilizers that should cut farmers’ costs and at the same time boost some types of renewable energy. Their scheme, which involves using waste material from anaerobic digesters and ash from burnt biomass, would also cut fossil fuel use and save natural resources. ...

With rapid development of our society, more and more large-scale organic fertilizer processing factories appear. Coupled with the expensive labor costs and other factors, at present more and more people begin to choose organic fertilizer production line. A set of organic fertilizer production line ...

Introduction Pollution Prevention Guidelines to provide technical advice and guidance to staff and consultants involved in pollution-related projects. The guidelines represent state-of-the-art thinking on how to reduce pollution emissions from the production process. In many cases, the guidelines provide numerical targets for reducing pollution, as well as maximum ...

Read the white paper now for analysis of water soluble fertilizers, including: Farmland availability to 2050 and the impact on crop yield demands The need to increase water use efficiency as a result of significant pressures on limited water ...

When German chemist Justus von Liebig demonstrated in 1847 that the major nutrients that plants removed from the soil could be applied in mineral form, he set the stage for the development of the fertilizer industry and a huge jump in world food production a century later. Growth in food production during the nineteenth century came primarily from expanding cultivated area. It was not until the ...

Introduction of Animal Manure or Sludge Organic Fertilizer Production Line Organic fertilizer production line is designed for producing organic fertilizer from animal manure or sludge, without any chemical ingredients. As chickens, pigs have a poor digestion, can only consume 25% of the nutrients, so other 75% of feed nutrients with feces discharge can be produced to the dry ...

A potential strategy to decrease the levels of self-seed production during the seed increase stages of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) synthetic cultivar development is selection for decreased self-fertility. The underlying genetics of this trait have not been elucidated and, therefore, a study was designed to identify genetic determinants of alfalfa self-fertility. An F1 mapping population ...
